Cybersecurity for Kenyan Healthcare Providers
Healthcare organisations manage some of the most sensitive personal data that exists, often on systems where downtime has real clinical consequences, not just business ones. RETIS scopes assessments around that reality — patient confidentiality and continuity of care both matter, not just data protection on paper.
Where healthcare carry distinct cyber risk
These patterns come from how healthcare actually operate day to day — not a generic enterprise risk list with the sector name swapped in.
Patient Data Confidentiality
Medical records carry a different order of sensitivity and consequence than typical business data.
Medical Device & System Integration
Connected medical devices and hospital information systems expand the attack surface in ways generic IT reviews miss.
Legacy Hospital Information Systems
Core clinical systems are often older, harder to patch, and rarely replaced quickly.
Third-Party Lab & Pharmacy Integrations
Every external lab, pharmacy or referral integration is a potential path into patient data.
Data Protection Exposure
Health data sensitivity raises the stakes of any exposure well beyond typical personal data.
Continuity for Critical Systems
Downtime in clinical systems has direct patient-care consequences, not just operational ones.
Where to start
Not every service applies equally — these are the ones healthcare most often need first.

Case studies for this sector are in progress
RETIS publishes case studies only with client authorisation, and only once an engagement is complete. As sector-specific engagements conclude, anonymised or named case studies (where permitted) will be added here — we won't publish placeholder results in the meantime.
Questions from healthcare
No — assessment activity is scoped and scheduled specifically to avoid disrupting active clinical systems, agreed in advance during scoping.
Medical device and system integration risk is a standard part of scope for healthcare engagements.
Data-handling terms, including what patient data (if any) is accessed and how it's protected, are agreed in writing before any engagement begins.
Yes — scope is matched to your size and systems, from a single clinic to a larger multi-facility provider.
